I love you so much mom and miss you terribly. I think about you everyday. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with you but it is not enough. Even though I have been preparing myself mentally, I still wish I had more time to spend with you. There are few people in my life who have influenced me as much as you have. You believed in me and told me I could accomplish anything if I set my mind to it. You loved and supported me and shaped the woman I am today. I take care of others as you took care of me. It is hard to imagine life without you. Thank you for all you have done for me. May you rest in peace. Your loving daughter, Elsie (Thao).

I have been reliving my friendship with Mum which lasted more than half a century.
We clicked from the word "go". We used to volunteer for the domestic flights for Air Vietnam that included 5 or 6 stops because we wanted more time to chat with each other. In Qui Nhon, Linus would be waiting for us with roasted pigeons for our lunch on the way home. Happy memories.
When started to see Dad, we teased them mercilessly but we were so happy as they were so well suited.
Mum lived for her children and was so proud of their achievements.
I have lost a wonderful friend. She was kind, warm, funny and generous. I’ll miss her.
